An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 6 , 6 , and 12 . A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 5 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the remaining volume of the ellipsoid?

=1547.76

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii =6,6 and 12
=pi/6times(major-axis)times(minor axis)times(vertcal-axis)
=pi/6(2times12)(2times6)(2times6)
=pi/6(24times12times12)
=576pi
=1809.56
Volume of an Hemisphere=2/3(pir^3) where r=5 is the radius
=2/3pi(5)^3
=2/3pi(125)
=250/3pi
=261.8
So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid
=1809.56-261.8
=1547.76
